Another posting down the tubes! I wanted to mention that we have lived in 32 houses in 57 years of marriage. Each one is a story in itself and I don't even now know why or how we did it.

Please, if you haven't bought Verna's book yet, please get a copy for you and everyone who is dear to you! It's a great coffee table book, an end table book, a gift for a friend, a Christmas present, and on and on. You'll love it!

Verna, I'm ordering one of Ernestina Parker's books right away. There is no one I admire more! Thanks for the tip. If anyone deserves sainthood, it's she.

My posting was about 3 paragraphs long but since it evaporated, I condensed it into a few sentences. Maybe I should do that more often.Love seeing all the new ones here. Don't we love making new friends?? And keeping our old ones, too?

I love all of you guys!

Thank you, Mariane. I'll add you to my sister, Mary Cole Ashby, as my best cheerleaders!You will love Ernie's book. I had put their address to order it from on my posting, but I decided this is too broad a forum to list somebody's personal address. If anyone wants it, you can email me for it. I have a book e-mail don'tfrightenthepansies@gmail.com you might use. I don't know if I said that their publisher went bankrupt right after their book came out, but they have lots of copies--and that's a blessing for them. Thanks to any veterans or veterans' families on our porch. I appreciate you!

So that's I Cor. 10:13. I should have looked it up instead of just going from a list of verses I have in a Word file (where I didn't have it marked correctly even though I'm so careful about that) because I didn't start it at the actual beginning of the verse. I guess I thought the beginning of the verse was actually a previous verse. One more very good reason not to trust my memory. Sorry, folks. Who wants to start the next one?
